The Scots people are sovereign and we will decide if we want to be independent without the permission of the country next door. Asking for a Section 30 order is the first part of the legal process so we would be recognised as independent by other nations. If refused we can take it to court and we will win. Westminster had a vote in the HoC last year and it passed.

We can have a referendum but we could also use elections to determine the outcome, if a majority of Pro-Independence MPs and MSPs are returned then we can declare ourselves Independent.

"That this House endorses the principles of the Claim of Right for Scotland, agreed by the Scottish Constitutional Convention in 1989 and by the Scottish Parliament in 2012, and therefore acknowledges the sovereign right of the Scottish people to determine the form of government best suited to their needs.”

Because taking us out of the EU against our will is the material change that the SNP had in their manifesto and has a mandate for.

I know you are used to English parties ditching their manifesto as soon as they get elected but we think they should be honoured.

The SNP Scottish Government has a clear mandate to offer the people of Scotland a choice. The SNP has won two elections – the Scottish Parliament election in 2016 and the General Election last year – with an explicit commitment in our manifesto on holding a referendum. The Scottish Parliament has also endorsed that position.
